I can't play Blu-Rays I just purchased from Amazon... and it shows region mis-match! I am calling from Bangladesh, does anyone know any solution?

PC DVD and Blu Ray drives sometimes let you change regions a limited number of times, but I don't think that's possible with stand alone players (and you can only change them a limited number of times).If you bought this player from the U.S. Amazon store, it would be region A/1, whereas it looks like Bangladesh is in region C/3 for Blu Ray. Or conversely if you have a region C player and bought Blu Rays from the U.S. Amazon store the discs would be region A and the player region C.I'd assume that's what's going on. DVD and Blu Ray packages usually tell you what region they're for on the back of the package, usually on the back towards the bottom. Hope this helps!

Hi Kamar, you can only play Region Code (BD): A and Region Code (DVD): 1. Discs from Bangladesh can't be played on this Blu-ray player. -Vincent

Yeah I had the same problem. Although it appears that the blu ray disc player is immediately ready to reed any disc, there are a few steps to take in order to change each time the region your disc belongs to. First of all, press SETUP on your remote, then insert the 1369 code. Now press 1 to enable region A, 2 for region B, 3 for a region C disc... and finally press SETUP again. Enjoy your view!

You should change the player region. To do that just follow the steps: 1. Press SETUP 2. Enter Code 1369 3. You will then see a menu where you can view the DVD region code and Blu Ray Region code. 4. The DVD code is already set to 0, which means it will play ANY Region DVDs with no further changes. 5. For Blu Ray. press 1 for region A, Press 2 for Region B and press 4 for Region C. 6. Press SETUP so the settings will save. you can change them as you wish. 7. You are done. Enjoy your DVD Player!

Im not exactly sure what a multi-region is. It only holds one blu ray and I haven't come across any problems playing blu rays.

I can tell that I play without any problem the US market Bluray media as well as some I have imported from Italy. Pay attention to a paper that is inside the box, with the instruction on how to activate the areas - click 1 for zone 1, 2 for zone 2 etc.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly. These players are originally region one.

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon.Hope that helps :-)

Thanks Marla. It's just that import-world.com advertised a Panasonic Blu-Ray player that they claim (and guarantee) to be region free - but that might be misleading as it may be region free for DVDs and not Blu-Rays. I will have to call them to make sure. Thanks.

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

I also own a BDP-N460 blu-ray player. At the original setup, after "activating enhanced features", a "registration code" was shown on the screen. Not knowing any better, I did not write down the number, now I wish I had. As was mentioned in an earlier post, this number does not appear again after the initial setup. The first internet service I linked with was Netflix. This has worked very well and has given me no problems. But when I tried to link with Amazon, I found that it was necessary to have the "registration code" that was now unavailable for viewing. I have talked with the techs at Amazon and everything on their side of the "link" is correctly in place for my account to make the link work. I have spent approxiamately 4-5 hours on the phone with Sony to try and find the code that I need, with no result. I have tried numerous things to find this "code" and to get it to show itself, but no luck. Note that the "registration number" (not code) can be found easily under system info as well as MAC address and other information, but this is not the number I need. I am continuing to work this issue but I seem to be at a point that without further information and help from Sony, I feel I'm at a deadend. I have talked to at least six different "techs" at Sony who have tried, but have been unable to help. I hope this can be resolved, as I would very much like to use Amazon as a rental movie supplier. Thanks.

Yes because like me you bought the UK version right or Asian. End you are trying to play it in the states. Which is a different format and the download content only works on the US version so they match up I bought all the downloads and can't use them either

There is an after market hardware mod that will successfully make it region free. It is user installable externally; but would require a tech to install it permanently internally. I paid $29 for the hardware (it's a small circuit board), & it plugs in externally to 2 ports (1 USB port & if I remember right) also the e-sata port.It works perfectly on dvd, I haven't purchased any Blu-rays that aren't region A yet.

So my non-hd movies from other regions would be able to play on this player in the upconversions with no problem? Thanks for the info.
